【正文】 t patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and bees so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don39。It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are being horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would bee fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver39。故選C。（3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。與英語不同，漢語允許他們把這七個數(shù)字放在兩秒鐘之內(nèi)）可推知，比起美國人，中國人的母語讓中國人更容易記住一列數(shù)字。（2）推理判斷題。）可推知，本文主要探討了亞洲兒童在數(shù)學(xué)方面的優(yōu)勢可能來源于他們的文化的問題。他們有一個邏輯計(jì)數(shù)系統(tǒng)。同時根據(jù)第三段中的The number system in English is highly so in China, Japan, and Korea. They have a logical counting system.（英語中的數(shù)字系統(tǒng)是高度不規(guī)則的。（1）主旨大意題。American children can only count to 15 at the age of four【答案】 （1）D（2）B（3）C 【解析】【分析】本文為介紹說明文。they don39。they pronounce the numbers in a shorter periodB.D.Their math education.B.s advantage in math may be sourced from their culture.（2）What makes a Chinese easier to remember a list of numbers than an American?A.Children in Western countries have to learn by heart the learning things.D.The Asian numbernaming system helps grasp advanced math skills better.B. When it es to math, in other words, Asians have a builtin advantage. For years, students from China, South Korea, and Japan outperformed their Western classmates at mathematics, and the typical assumption is that it has something to do with a kind of Asian talent for math. The differences between the number systems in the East and the West suggest something very different that being good at math may also be rooted in a group39。 The regularity of their number system also means that Asian children can perform basic functions, such as addition, far more easily. Ask an Englishspeaking sevenyearold to add thirtyseven plus twentytwo in her head, and she has to change the words to numbers (37+22). Only then can she do the math: 2 plus 7 is 9 and 30 and 20 is 50, which makes 59. Ask an Asian child to add threetensseven and twotenstwo, and then the necessary equation(等式) is right there, in the sentence. No number translation is necessary: it39。t. We use a different form: eleven, twelve, thirteen and fifteen. For numbers above 20, we put the “decade” first and the unit number second (twentyone, twentytwo), while for the teens, we do it the other way around (fourteen, seventeen, eighteen). The number system in English is highly irregular. Not so in China, Japan, and Korea. They have a logical counting system. Eleven is tenone. Twelve is tentwo. Twentyfour is twotensfour and so on. It turns out that there is also a big difference in how numbernaming systems in Western and Asian languages are constructed. In English, we say fourteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen and nineteen, so one might expect that we would also say oneteen, twoteen, threeteen, and fiveteen. That example es from Stanislas Dahaene39。 Take a look at the following list of numbers: 4, 8, 5, 3, 7, 9, 6. Read them loud. Now look away and spend 20 seconds memorizing them in order before saying them out loud again. If you speak English, you have about a 50% chance of remembering those perfectly. If you are Chinese, though, you39。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和段落大意三個題型的考查，是一篇社會類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。根據(jù)最后一段中的The research also suggests the established view that attractive candidates are favored when applying for jobs might be limited to high173。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的They thought that attractive individuals would want better outes, and therefore would be less satisfied, so they favored unattractive candidates when selecting for a less desirable job.可知,有吸引力的人希望更好的結(jié)果,因此不太容易滿足,所以參與者在選擇不那么理想的工作時更喜歡長相一般的候選人,由此可知,長相一般的人更喜歡不那么理想的工作是因?yàn)樗麄兏菀诐M足,故選B。根據(jù)第四段中的The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative及participants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job可知,參與者不太可能雇有吸引力的人做不那么理想的工作,而倉庫管理員是不理想的工作之一,由此可知,長相一般的人在申請倉庫管理員職位上有優(yōu)勢,故選C。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容,特別是Participants were shown photos of two potential job candidates, one attractive and the other unattractive.可知,本段主要介紹了研究人員對吸引力和求職之間的關(guān)系的實(shí)驗(yàn)過程,故選C。根據(jù)第二段中的For the most part good looks is a blessing.可知,在很大程度上,美貌是一種福氣,由此可知,人們普遍認(rèn)為有吸引力是一種福氣,故選B。Less attractive people can easily get highly paid if they work hard.【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）C（4）B（5）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了吸引力和求職之間的關(guān)系。level jobs.C.level jobs.B.Because they will want better outes.（5）Which of the following agrees with the research? A.Because they will be more satisfied.C.an IT elite（4）Why are less attractive applicants preferred for less desirable jobs? A.C.a project directorlooking graduate may have an advantage when applying for _______. A.The process of the experiment.D.The participants of the experiment.B.it is not important.D.It is a disadvantage.B.

In all experiments where they were asked, participants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job and more likely to hire the attractive candidate for the more desirable job.
